Signed; Elliott Erwitt - Paris - 2010

Copy of the original oversized edition, exceptionally signed on the title page by Elliot Erwitt (1928 – 2023), unique and untouchable on the internet as a signed copy. Do not confuse with later paperback or medium-format reissues that followed the publication of this original edition. 178 pages and about 150 black-and-white photographs printed full bleed and, for some, double-page spreads, captions of the photographs at the end of the book with miniature reproductions, text in English, German, Italian, French and Spanish by Adam Gopnik, solid illustrated publisher’s binding on the cover and spine and an illustrated dust jacket identical in design. In excellent condition, practically like new.

'Yes, Paris will always be Paris and who better than the inimitable Elliot Erwitt to immortalize its spirit? With his unique eye to capture reality, Erwitt sees beyond tourist clichés. This master of photography reveals as much the power emanating from the monuments as the scenes of daily life. Alternating intimate details and wide views, Erwitt captures the very essence of this metropolis.' (editor's note).
